особенно - про обмороженных девочек
Geese honk on the pond beyond Foster's field. Every half hour or so, the great wings begin to clap, and a helter-skelter squadron takes flight toward the ocean, on the way sorting itself into an inverted V. It's only an oafish joke, like the fat girls with chilblains who marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade yesterday. These birds aren't about to migrate anywhere. They'll wheel in the sky and return to the pond, where they were born and will die. Drunks on their way home after the last pub has closed, lurching up Third Avenue toward the 86th Street subway entrance, pissing on grilles of closed storefronts.

Так же, как бессмысленно и подражательно хождение девиц на день св. Патрика парадом. Никуда, бесцельно, и несамостоятельно. Как муха в банке.
